With this module you can create [HTTP2][0] / [SPDY][1] servers
|
10
|
in node.js with natural http module interface and fallback to regular https
|
11
|
(for browsers that don't support neither HTTP2, nor SPDY yet).
|
12
|
|
13
|
This module named `spdy` but it [provides](https://github.com/indutny/node-spdy/issues/269#issuecomment-239014184) support for both http/2 (h2) and spdy (2,3,3.1). Also, `spdy` is compatible with Express.

## Usage
|
16
|
|
17
|
### Examples
|
18
|
|
19
|
Server:
|
20
|
```javascript
|
21
|
var spdy = require('spdy'),
|
22
|
fs = require('fs');
|
23
|
|
24
|
var options = {
|
25
|
// Private key
|
26
|
key: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/keys/spdy-key.pem'),
|
27
|
|
28
|
// Fullchain file or cert file (prefer the former)
|
29
|
cert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/keys/spdy-fullchain.pem'),
|
30
|
|
31
|
// **optional** SPDY-specific options
|
32
|
spdy: {
|
33
|
protocols: [ 'h2', 'spdy/3.1', ..., 'http/1.1' ],
|
34
|
plain: false,
|
35
|
|
36
|
// **optional**
|
37
|
// Parse first incoming X_FORWARDED_FOR frame and put it to the
|
38
|
// headers of every request.
|
39
|
// NOTE: Use with care! This should not be used without some proxy that
|
40
|
// will *always* send X_FORWARDED_FOR
|
41
|
'x-forwarded-for': true,
|
42
|
|
43
|
connection: {
|
44
|
windowSize: 1024 * 1024, // Server's window size
|
45
|
|
46
|
// **optional** if true - server will send 3.1 frames on 3.0 *plain* spdy
|
47
|
autoSpdy31: false
|
48
|
}
|
49
|
}
|
50
|
};
|
51
|
|
52
|
var server = spdy.createServer(options, function(req, res) {
|
53
|
res.writeHead(200);
|
54
|
res.end('hello world!');
|
55
|
});
|
56
|
|
57
|
server.listen(3000);
|
58
|
```
|
59
|
|
60
|
Client:
|
61
|
```javascript
|
62
|
var spdy = require('spdy');
|
63
|
var https = require('https');
|
64
|
|
65
|
var agent = spdy.createAgent({
|
66
|
host: 'www.google.com',
|
67
|
port: 443,
|
68
|
|
69
|
// Optional SPDY options
|
70
|
spdy: {
|
71
|
plain: false,
|
72
|
ssl: true,
|
73
|
|
74
|
// **optional** send X_FORWARDED_FOR
|
75
|
'x-forwarded-for': '127.0.0.1'
|
76
|
}
|
77
|
});
|
78
|
|
79
|
https.get({
|
80
|
host: 'www.google.com',
|
81
|
agent: agent
|
82
|
}, function(response) {
|
83
|
console.log('yikes');
|
84
|
// Here it goes like with any other node.js HTTP request
|
85
|
// ...
|
86
|
// And once we're done - we may close TCP connection to server
|
87
|
// NOTE: All non-closed requests will die!
|
88
|
agent.close();
|
89
|
}).end();
|
90
|
```
|
91
|
|
92
|
Please note that if you use a custom agent, by default all connection-level
|
93
|
errors will result in an uncaught exception. To handle these errors subscribe
|
94
|
to the `error` event and re-emit the captured error:
|
95
|
|
96
|
```javascript
|
97
|
var agent = spdy.createAgent({
|
98
|
host: 'www.google.com',
|
99
|
port: 443
|
100
|
}).once('error', function (err) {
|
101
|
this.emit(err);
|
102
|
});
|
103
|
```
|
104
|
|
105
|
#### Push streams
|
106
|
|
107
|
It is possible to initiate [PUSH_PROMISE][5] to send content to clients _before_
|
108
|
the client requests it.
|
109
|
|
110
|
```javascript
|
111
|
spdy.createServer(options, function(req, res) {
|
112
|
var stream = res.push('/main.js', {
|
113
|
status: 200, // optional
|
114
|
method: 'GET', // optional
|
115
|
request: {
|
116
|
accept: '*/*'
|
117
|
},
|
118
|
response: {
|
119
|
'content-type': 'application/javascript'
|
120
|
}
|
121
|
});
|
122
|
stream.on('error', function() {
|
123
|
});
|
124
|
stream.end('alert("hello from push stream!");');
|
125
|
|
126
|
res.end('<script src="/main.js"></script>');
|
127
|
}).listen(3000);
|
128
|
```
|
129
|
|
130
|
[PUSH_PROMISE][5] may be sent using the `push()` method on the current response
|
131
|
object. The signature of the `push()` method is:
|
132
|
|
133
|
`.push('/some/relative/url', { request: {...}, response: {...} }, callback)`
|
134
|
|
135
|
Second argument contains headers for both PUSH_PROMISE and emulated response.
|
136
|
`callback` will receive two arguments: `err` (if any error is happened) and a
|
137
|
[Duplex][4] stream as the second argument.
|
138
|
|
139
|
Client usage:
|
140
|
```javascript
|
141
|
var agent = spdy.createAgent({ /* ... */ });
|
142
|
var req = http.get({
|
143
|
host: 'www.google.com',
|
144
|
agent: agent
|
145
|
}, function(response) {
|
146
|
});
|
147
|
req.on('push', function(stream) {
|
148
|
stream.on('error', function(err) {
|
149
|
// Handle error
|
150
|
});
|
151
|
// Read data from stream
|
152
|
});
|
153
|
```
|
154
|
|
155
|
NOTE: You're responsible for the `stream` object once given it in `.push()`
|
156
|
callback or `push` event. Hence ignoring `error` event on it will result in
|
157
|
uncaught exception and crash your program.
|
158
|
|
159
|
#### Trailing headers
|
160
|
|
161
|
Server usage:
|
162
|
```javascript
|
163
|
function (req, res) {
|
164
|
// Send trailing headers to client
|
165
|
res.addTrailers({ header1: 'value1', header2: 'value2' });
|
166
|
|
167
|
// On client's trailing headers
|
168
|
req.on('trailers', function(headers) {
|
169
|
// ...
|
170
|
});
|
171
|
}
|
172
|
```
|
173
|
|
174
|
Client usage:
|
175
|
```javascript
|
176
|
var req = http.request({ agent: spdyAgent, /* ... */ }).function (res) {
|
177
|
// On server's trailing headers
|
178
|
res.on('trailers', function(headers) {
|
179
|
// ...
|
180
|
});
|
181
|
});
|
182
|
req.write('stuff');
|
183
|
req.addTrailers({ /* ... */ });
|
184
|
req.end();
|
185
|
```
|
186
|
|
187
|
#### Options
|
188
|
|
189
|
All options supported by [tls][2] work with node-spdy.
|
190
|
|
191
|
Additional options may be passed via `spdy` sub-object:
|
192
|
|
193
|
* `plain` - if defined, server will ignore NPN and ALPN data and choose whether
|
194
|
to use spdy or plain http by looking at first data packet.
|
195
|
* `ssl` - if `false` and `options.plain` is `true`, `http.Server` will be used
|
196
|
as a `base` class for created server.
|
197
|
* `maxChunk` - if set and non-falsy, limits number of bytes sent in one DATA
|
198
|
chunk. Setting it to non-zero value is recommended if you care about
|
199
|
interleaving of outgoing data from multiple different streams.
|
200
|
(defaults to 8192)
|
201
|
* `protocols` - list of NPN/ALPN protocols to use (default is:
|
202
|
`['h2','spdy/3.1', 'spdy/3', 'spdy/2','http/1.1', 'http/1.0']`)
|
203
|
* `protocol` - use specific protocol if no NPN/ALPN ex In addition,
|
204
|
* `maxStreams` - set "[maximum concurrent streams][3]" protocol option
|
205
|
|
206
|
### API
|
207
|
|
208
|
API is compatible with `http` and `https` module, but you can use another
|
209
|
function as base class for SPDYServer.
|
210
|
|
211
|
```javascript
|
212
|
spdy.createServer(
|
213
|
[base class constructor, i.e. https.Server],
|
214
|
{ /* keys and options */ }, // <- the only one required argument
|
215
|
[request listener]
|
216
|
).listen([port], [host], [callback]);
|
217
|
```
|
218
|
|
219
|
Request listener will receive two arguments: `request` and `response`. They're
|
220
|
both instances of `http`'s `IncomingMessage` and `OutgoingMessage`. But three
|
221
|
custom properties are added to both of them: `isSpdy`, `spdyVersion`. `isSpdy`
|
222
|
is `true` when the request was processed using HTTP2/SPDY protocols, it is
|
223
|
`false` in case of HTTP/1.1 fallback. `spdyVersion` is either of: `2`, `3`,
|
224
|
`3.1`, or `4` (for HTTP2).
